Originating in Motueka in the North of New Zealand’s South Island, a Motlette is an aberration of the culinary world, generally created with eggs and the cheapest brand of two minute noodles. The name originates from an illiterate Motueka local who dropped his omelette recipe in his noodles. Motueka locals sometimes have a “Motlette sans eggs”, most people would just call this noodles. The Motlette is the inferior cousin of the Kaiklette.
